Manziel's jersey makes money for the athletic department, who in turn, uses that revenue to pay for the expenses of every sports program they run. (because football is the money maker for athletic departments. Occasionally basketball.) It pays for equipment, uniforms, facilities, etc. It's not like the school just hoards that money for itself. Nor should Manziel.
